Jimmy John’s

Though Jimmy John’s is mainly known for it’s “freaky fast delivery,” convenience is what this location in particular has going for it.

Louie’s Oyster House and Beer Garden

Louie’s is the place to go on a hot Texas day in San Marcos; the outdoor atmosphere really sets in the tone for cold margaritass and seafood. The oysters come served raw or chargrilled, but either way, they’ll get you in the mindset of being on the Texas coast. However, while oysters might be their specialty, signature dishes like the crab stuffed jalapenos, alligator roll or Boudin Balls blend New Orleans and Tex-Mex dishes come together to give seafood a Southern Texas kick.

Taproom

Taproom takes the crown for best burger in San Marcos. Famous for having the biggest selection of beer in San Marcos, Taproom is also known around town for having the best burger in San Marcos, and it’s not just about the beef.

Gumby’s Pizza

The pepperoni rolls are only $1.49 a roll and are filled with cheese and pepperoni that goes wonderfully with a cup of their house ranch. Perfect for wrapping up a trip to The Square, Gumby’s is open until 3am.

Fuego Tortilla Grill

Bar, Mexican

Known for fat tacos at a skinny price, Fuego is praised for its homemade tortillas, variety of ingredients and extensive free salsa bar. A good recommendation for new comers is their most popular taco, the El Presidente, but for those looking for something new, the Dr Pepper taco is one to try.
